Scott Noyes: It's easy to find benchmarks that favor one database over another, depending on the hardware, the configuration and the test.

One database might do better on a single-core machine with
little memory, while another can take better advantage of scaling to multiple
core processors. One might lead on reads while another leads on writes.
